My recent visit to Rajasthan was a really special trip for me because I was planning to visit Udaipur and other places since 2015 , almost exactly four years after the first time I went to Rajasthan! on 22nd March 2019 on the occasion of Holi , I made so many memories on this trip. My friends and me took a car from Chandigarh to travel to Udaipur. My travel style has changed a lot from my backpacker days. I was excited to see Udaipur from a new angle – and I was not disappointed! I found the BEST hotel, had the perfect boat ride and other top things to do in Udaipur, saw the iconic places to visit in Udaipur, and had my besties.
It was around 950 Km from Chandigarh to Udaipur , So we took our first stay in Neemrana place that is around 130 km from Delhi and we reached their around 1:30 Am. On the Holi day we went toward Jaipur and at 12 Pm we reached Amer Fort but it open around 2 pm due to Holi festival the entry fee for Indian are Rs 100 and for Foreign Tourists is Rs 500 . There we took many pics and around 5 pm we went out to explore other places , but it was too late to visit other fort like Nahargarh Fort and Hawa Mahal, so we went ahead toward Ajmer to visit Ajmer Shariif we reached there around 9 Pm and on the next day we reached Udaipur around 4 AM . Then we went to our Hotel we rested there and after breakfast we First visit Jagdish Temple which was near our hotel and after visiting temple we went to City Palace and tickets for City Palace complex is Rs 30 , if some want to visit City Palace Museum then its ticket price is Rs 300 and Rs. 100 for Children (5 to 18 yrs age). Museum timing is till 5:30 PM in the evening ,if someone want to visit Jag Mandir its ticket Price is Rs 480 , but after 2:00 Pm it price is Rs 800. If someone want to take only boat ride in Lake Pichola then tourist must consider muncipal boat ride its Price is Rs 150 but it will not take you to Jag Mandir.
Next Day , we went to Sajjangarh Fort its entry price is Rs 10 for Indian Tourists and Rs 80 for Foreign Tourists its timing is 9AM to 6PM and in evening we went to Fateh Sagar Lake we one can have every type of fast foods and can enjoy there with there friends and families. On 24 March we went to see Badi Lake which is 6 KM from Sajjangarh Fort ,but there is nothing to see near lake and we spend around 20 -30 min took some pics and went back . On same day we planned to visit Chittorgarh Fort but due to some reason we drop that plan instead of that we visit Eklingji Temple which is outside the Udaipur city and temple is too old .Eklingji Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the tutelary deity of the former Mewar rulers. Ek means ‘one’ while ling means ‘lingum or the life giving phallic symbol of Lord Shiva’. The patron deity of the Mewar clan is considered the actual ruler of the region while the kings are merely the Dewan (or the Prime Minister) of this God of Mewar. Initially, the temple was built in 734 AD by Bappa Rawal, the founder of the Mewar dynasty. In the later years, it was repaired and modified by various Kings, to clean the remnants of obliteration made by the attacks of Mohammedans. Tourists are not allowed to took picture from inside of temple. It is good place to visit .
Timings: 4.15 AM – 6.45 AM, 10.30 AM – 1.30 PM and 5.15 PM – 7.45 PM
On our last day we went to Alwar to explore Bhangarh Fort is known as the most haunted place in India and the third haunted place of World, and perhaps the greatest unsolved mystery. There is no doubting the fact that anything associated with the supernatural attracts a huge amount of attention and the deserted city of Bhangarh cashes in on that very idea. The many haunted stories of Bhangarh Fort have transformed it into a bucket list destination of sorts. We had a great time there it will take 2 hours for tourists to explore that place .
n- My advice is to not to visit Rajasthan during Summer (March to September) because its to hot to explore best time is October to February. Rajasthan is quite expensive place than other places of India. We were four people we spend around 25K for 5 Days in Rajasthan. If someone is visiting Rajasthan mininum expenses for one person is going to be around 7 to 8k if they are exploring two places with four days . But Rajasthan is one the best place to visit in India. Now I’m planning to visit it again next year to explore it more properly.
